What Dealers Say.

]. Fairchild & CO.-The market looks
son that the business is mostly trans
acted by the older and well established
firms. The little noisy firms have largely
dropped out and those of that class that
remain can't keep up the noise and
racket that used to be made when the
whole gang was in full blast.
There is a steady feeling in
the market, prices are firm and
steady, and are daily growing more
firm. In some instances people who
bought more outside property
than they can carry are compelled to
sell at loss in order to get out. but
these cases are very few and the shave
they submit to is not very great. There
is little cause for complaint at the mar
ket. After the 1st of January sales
will, without doubt. be more free.
Bristol d LOOmis-We are selling
right along, and things are looking
more favorable than they were.
A. II. Rogers-Everything looks bet
ter and sales are more free. l am sell
ing right along.
Stone & Morton-There certainly is a
better feeling, and sales are more free.
We are selling right along.
Col. j. II. DavidsOn-LetteIs that L
have received from the East indicate
that good deal of money is coming
West for investment. All that write
from Eastern States are continually in
quiring about making investments, and
it is not surprising, for money there is
cheap and can be invested here TO a
great deal better advantage. People in
the East know that st. Paul is a solid
city, and they are not afraid to invest
their money here.
Weatherby & Hay-The condition of
the market has greatly improved and
the prospects are more satisfactory.
Clark q Bryant--We look for de-
cided movement in real estate in the
spring.
Fallihee & Holloway - AT present
there is a moderate activity, and all
prices are firm with unmiStakable indi-
cations of more activity. Inside prop
erty is strong and firm.
ROthSchild IL ThurSton-We are SELL
ing right along and look for an active
market in a couple of months.
Ingersoll & Camden-SaleS are steady
with us and all indications point to
more activity.
Bushnell & Bushnell-We have a
very extensive correspondence through
out the East, and we have never known
a time when the confidence in st. Paul
real estate was as well founded as it is
at present. There is no doubt that
large amounts of Eastern capital will
come here for investment. Everything
points that way. Money is cheap in the
East and must naturally comes
West for investment where
very much more can be got for
it than can be secured at home. Inquir
les are daily multiplying also for good
per cent paper and considerable
quantities of it are being picked up.
II. S. Fairchild & SOn-BuSinesS is
not very active yet, though we are do
ing something right along. There is no
trouble about market at all. There is
good, fair business doing, which will be
largely increased in month or two
more.

FIFTY-THREE MILLIONS.

The Transfers for the Year
Amount to This Enormous
Sum.
Never before in the history of ST.
Paul has the aggregate consideration
for real estate recorded on the official
books been up to that of 1887. 1t may
be said almost that the transactions
have never aggregated half so much.
This is not the result of the deal
ingS of real estate men back
and forth between themselves, but
the beauty of the figures is that the
transfers were caused by the invest
ments of moneyed men. There has
been little trading and no imitation of
the records to make a showing, as there
has been no ambition to give currency
to any "boom" ideas. Below is the list
by weeks for the year up to

Presents to the Children.

Hartford Post.
Job Shuttle and his good wife sat
cOgitating in their snug back parlor

wondering what they would do for the
children Christmas.
'The little folks have been down
town using up their savings for Christ

Shuttle.
''How very kind of them," remarked
Job in a cynical tone.
"Well, indeed it is. They have great
deal of enjoyment out of it. They learn
that it is more pleasant to give than to

"Well, that's hint. How much is this
Christmas going to cOst%'
Only little sacrifice, my dear, that's

And then Job fixed the fire and turned

1t has been remarked very frequently

binary observation. The decora-

enough to build fine house. The
woodwork, of course, is the most I'M
